Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
This looks good.

“A perfect Spring gift for that special person in your life. Nothing says I love you like an “Old Willys”. 1947 CJ2A, 1971 – 350 Chevy motor, Jeep running gear is 3 speed transmission with overdrive and high/low range in the transfer case. Black, mustang high back bucket seats, tilt wheel, power steering, great heater, windshield wipers, roll cage, quality top in great condition, almost new 10.50×31.50 radials on slotted mags, dual shocks on front, light bar and more. Runs and drives great, everything works except a couple of gauges. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
“I have an upgraded/restored Willys CJ3A. Make no mistake, this is setup to be a 4 x 4 monster-mudder & street rod, not a mellow collector’s vehicle. It has a very strong Chev 350 w/headers and almost brand new dual Flowmasters (a little loud). Edelbrock 4 barrel (no high rise manifold). Alluminum cross flow radiator with electric fan & transmission cooler. TH400 auto trans w/B&M shifter. Has twin shifter Dana 20 transfer case. Has 4 inch spring lift and 2 inch body lift with quality rubber mounts. It has almost brand new Corbeau front bucket seats with matching rear bench. Full cage roll bar (padded). Saginaw steering (manual–really tight–NO slop or play) with tilt steering wheel and collum ignition switch. 11 inch drum brakes with aftermarket master cylender on firewall (hanging pedal). All gauges, switches, lights, turn signels, emergency flashers, wipers and heater ALL work great. Duamatic front hubs. Both front & rear lockers. 33 x 12.50 R15LT tires (90% tread left).
There is NO cancer rot anywhere. A little patch of bedliner is peeling under back seat with just a little surface rust. The diamond plate accents are mainly for looks (just makes side steps more usable–they’re still intact under plating). Clear Wa. title. Tabs good for next 11 months.
Now, the issues (not very many): needs coolant saver and tubing installed. Only has bikini top currently. Needs dust cover for transmission bellhousing. That’s pretty much it.”
